Onion and Garlic Grilled Shrimp Skewers

Ingredients

• Wooden skewers (10-12, soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)
• Paprika (1 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Fresh lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Onion (1 medium, finely chopped)
• Shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine finely chopped onion, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss until each shrimp is well coated. Let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
3. While the shrimp is marinating, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread about 4-5 shrimp onto each soaked wooden skewer, ensuring there is a small space between each shrimp to allow even cooking.
5. Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and slightly charred.
6. Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill. Let them rest for a couple of minutes for the flavors to meld together.
7. Serve the Onion and Garlic Grilled Shrimp Skewers hot with a side of lemon wedges and a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
